35-year-old actor Macaulay Calkin, who earned himself a crazy fame due to the role of Kevin McCleister in the film "Alone at home," does not spoil fans with stories about himself. However, his desire to return to the screens dictates his conditions, and he began to slightly open the veil over his life and take part in small projects. The other day the actor gave an interview to The Guardian, in which he told about the present and the past, as well as the desired future.
Kalkin in an interview with The Guardian
At the beginning of the interview, the journalist of the publication touched on the topic of how Macaulay lived all these years, while he was not visible and heard. Here is what Kalkin said:
"Many people feel that they must be in constant movement. However, my financial status allowed me to get rid of it. I just stopped planning my life, and every day I lived without hurrying, with the flow. Yes, I'm not very active. Now I understand that if I had a goal or at least I understood what I wanted, then everything would be different. But it was not, and I just stopped thinking, because when I tried, these thoughts started to drive me crazy. "
Painting and music are the only things that Macaulay could not part with, after he left the starry Olympus. About them, he can talk for a long time and a lot:
"Good ideas always come to me when I'm drunk. What can you do? Probably, this is my feature, with which I have reconciled. I tried to write comic songs on a sober head, but nothing came of it. It was them that I lived for a long time. Jokes saved me from depression, although not all of them were clear. And if I have someone ask about whether I will continue to write funny songs, then I will answer unequivocally: "Yes." I really like the absurd rhymes. It's fun and funny. "
And now it's time to talk about happiness. Here is what the actor told about this:
"For many years now I have been trying to understand that happiness is for me, and so far I have not found an unambiguous answer. Probably because I try to avoid superficial assumptions in this matter. Many people ask me about faith and say: "So can the church give you happiness?". I did not receive an answer to this question either. Of course, I was raised a Catholic, and naturally I live after some acts with a sense of guilt, but confession is not for me. In any case now. My character will not let me go and confess, as it is supposed, I on the way to church will necessarily think up myself a series of sins that will be presented to the priest in a funny form. "
Everyone knows that Macaulay was not that person who did not drink alcohol and drugs. About this difficult time in his life, the actor also said:
"I admit, sometimes I did stupid things. But contrary to all publications of the press, I declare that I did not spend $ 6,000 per month on heroin. Suffer a little and I'll write about it myself. Now it is difficult and unpleasant for me to remember this part of my life. Very little time has passed. "
And the last question about whether we would like the actor to change something in his life, Kalkin replied:
"No, I would not change anything. All the events that happened in my life made me what I am today. I like being like that, although, for the sake of justice, I want to say that the money that I earned as a child, in all this play a far from last role. "Read also

In life, Macaulay had many disappointments
Kalkin became an early actor and in 4 years played his first role on the stage of the theater. After the talent of the little boy was noticed, he was invited to the cinema, and the picture "One at home", released on screens in 1990, became fateful. Further shooting in the cinema brought not only fame, but also big money: by age 13, Macaulay's fortune was estimated at $ 35 million. It was at this point that the parents divorced because of the son's money, and Macaulay accused his father of destroying his career and stopping talking with him. Perhaps this was the greatest disappointment in life.
In his personal life, too, everything was not going smoothly. Macaulay married the actress Rachel Meiner very early, but this union broke up after 2 years of marriage. Then there was a relationship with actress Mila Kunis. They lasted almost 10 years, but they did not lead to anything. After that, Macaulay began to use alcohol and drugs.
In 2013, Kalkin created his parody group "The Pizza Underground". However, in May 2014, during his first tour, the group was booed and thrown by cans of beer. Kalkin strongly experienced this blow and came to the conclusion that one should return to the cinema.
